The FS400

The Yamaha FS400 is a good and affordable western guitar, a great choice for beginners. The guitar has a solid spruce top which produces a warm and balanced sound. The rest of the guitar (back, sides, and neck) aren’t made of standard woods. Yamaha cares about the environment and thus uses local and sustainable tonewoods, depending on which is available during production of the guitar. Furthermore, the guitar has a Concert body, which is a comfortable shape that is a bit smaller than the Dreadnought. The neck is also a bit shorter which makes it more suitable for smaller or younger guitar players. Furthermore, the shape gives the guitar a nicely balanced sound.
